Reaching space in a balloon may sound like something out of a children’s book, but Spain’s zero2infinity is working on a nanosatellite launch vehicle called bloostar, which uses a high-altitude balloon as a first stage and rockets for reaching orbit.

In today's installment of "How 3D Printing is Changing Healthcare Forever," a Massachusetts-based medical device company is using a combination of CT imaging, modeling software and 3D printing technology to help avoid complications that often follow knee replacement procedures.

It may be called the iPad Air 2, but it's really Apple's sixth-generation full-sized iPad. Maybe you have one of the older 9.7-in models, and are wondering if it's worth upgrading? Let Gizmag lend a hand, as we compare the iPad Air 2 to the iPad Air 1 and all the older iPads.

The Canon CN20x50 is a new 4K-friendly cine servo lens which is said to boast the world's longest focal length. Designed for sport and nature TV production, the lens offers a massive native 50-1000-mm focal range, which is extendable to an almost ridiculous 75-1500-mm with a built-in extender.

Lots of us make sacrifices for the environment, but few of us would consider supporting the cause by moving into a dumpster. Dr. Jeff Wilson of Huston-Tillotson University, however, is doing just that.

In a perfect world, cigarette waste simply wouldn't exist. Given that it does, though, scientists have explored a number of methods of repurposing it. Now, researchers have shown that cigarette ash can be used as a low-cost means of filtering arsenic from water supplies.

Remember the baby stroller/scooter hybrid known as the Roller Buggy? Its Austrian creator is now part of the team behind another unique mode of human-powered transportation. This one's called the Vello bike, and it features a unique folding mechanism along with some other clever innovations.

Researchers are laying claim to having observed piezoelectricity in an atomically thin material for the first time. The effect was demonstrated in the world's thinnest electric generator made from a two-dimensional MoS2 material.

A secret mission came to a public end as the US Air Force’s top secret X-37B spaceplane landed at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The unmanned reusable spacecraft touched down on the runway like a conventional aircraft this morning at 9:24 am EDT after a record-breaking 674 days in orbit.

When we first heard about the NavVis system a couple of years ago, it was being developed for indoor navigation. Now, the technology has been expanded to the point that it could give Google Street View a run for its money.

The iPad Air and iPad mini 2 are a tough act to follow, but Apple is back nonetheless with two new tablets for 2014. Let's break down the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3, to see how their features and specs compare.

While there seems to be new applications popping up everyday, no industry is poised to benefit from this 3D printing in quite the way medicine is. The latest groundbreaking treatment involves an Indian cancer patient who has had his upper jaw replaced with the help of 3D printing.
